As ABC News reports, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) has confirmed that the House GOP will no longer attempt to repeal Obamacare. When asked about the future of the health care reform law, Boehner said the election changes that and Obamacare is the law of the land.

Why couldn’t he have simply said, “until such time as we have the votes to repeal it, it is the law. I will continue to hope that one day we do have the votes but until such time, I am bound to obey the laws passed by congress, as disreputable as they may be.”

Thanks dic#head for all you have done, you can now golf with your buddy without feeling guilty only hope you get hit with a golf ball that renders you in a coma this may be more productive for all of us

We already know that Boehner had struck a deal with Obama including raising taxes. Obama came back and reneged demanding more concessions. Boehner is not the guy I want handling any negoitiations. He lost a valuable opportunity to change things right after the 2010 midterms. He failed to use his leverage and gave away the farm.

I think the Republicans are going to let it unfold—to the horror of all. It can be undone with a simple majority in the House and Senate—so they are betting that Obamcare is so bad it will give them the Senate in 2014.

i really like to think this is a cunning move by Boehner and that six months down the road Americans will be screaming for repeal- at least more than already are- once it starts to take and the GOP won’t be branded as “obstructionists”- but this is Boehner- house leader of the party of stoooopid- so i know better....

Seems like an I told you so moment. The congressmen who said that they finally have control of the people was so right. The pubs would never give up the power either. He who is in charge of the people rule.

And it has started.
Just now I received a call from my diabetes doctor’s office. She is closing her practice as of December 20th. A few months ago she told me she would retire rather than practice under obamacare. During today’s call I found out that another doctor in the practice was also quitting for the same reason.

This morning my husband scheduled an appointed with his ortho doctor to have his second knee replacement surgery. She told my husband “It is about time. After February the doctor will no longer be taking patients or

Repeal is impossible with the Chief Jackwagon in the White Hut. Boehner can’t repeal it - waste of time. Senate won’t even take it up. Now, he can defund it. And then defund whatever else - DOE, DHHS, EPA, etc. And not a thing Obama nor the Senate can do about it. Any regulation put forth, he can strike their budgetary amount just like that. Will he? Nope - we got the wrong guy as a Speaker. Need someone like Ron Paul, Retired. Yes, I am serious.
